Good evening gents, i have the chance to send my Ocean 2000 down to 1600m with a ROV to test directly the wath underpressured. Do you think i'm really risking the integrity of the watch or not? The watch has just been serviced. Thank you

I think that is an amazing thing! If I had the opportunity I would definitely do the same with my AT 2000.
I already consider very alluring the fact that one can go around with a piece of superb craftsmanship that can withstand that type of aggression, but, having on the wrist one that actually went to the depth of the ocean is just the stuff of legend.
Echoing Tonny's words - Go for it! And please do take some photos and keep us posted.
All the best!

Indeed go for it - I would pay extra to put on a watch that hadd seen those water depths. And of course you must write a report for us and post it here - with pictures :-)

From what I undertand from your post Scubafox, it's a "wet test" that you intend!
1600m is a very, read very differnt envirnonment compared to say 200m ( or even 610m) - and IMHO "no chance" for the watch to "survive". Of course, like all of us here, I'd absolutely bevthrilled to see the AT make the journey into the Deep, and return intact / not flooded to tell the tale. Against that, ifit does not make it - no issue on my side, fully understandble!
Go for it, lets see the photo shoot "before & after" shots. For sure, its going to be ome story.
